more hand lines the plate dollar verdict in the case against samsung is not enough for apple finding that they ripped off apple's technology last month and now the company once an additional $700 million in damages and interest and samsung wants a new trial.

it will be pretty nice today but a few changes that are rippling through northern california but first it's often a good start with fog and low cloud cover especially to the golden gate bridge and mostly around the bay area and nothing but the skies with a temperatures in the '50s for most part. aside from that it's going to be nice with the low pressure spanning in southwestern alaska's sending some cloud cover to the bay area because of this low pressure sending the cloud cover appeared in the northern part of the state. already got side look up and see the cloud cover coming through the should not squeeze in the rain had of it is possible there could be a rope drop or two but not as much sunshine today as we had yesterday. still perfectly pleasant with the numbers not as good as

yesterday and as you head out the door this morning part the sunshine of the coast with high cloud cover for the bay area but for those of you sitting at mr. your not a high cloud cover. a model of how the atmosphere should behave in the next 24 hours of shows the cloud cover over the bay area and another wave comes to this afternoon and then clearing out and returning to the low cloud cover along the shoreline overnight tonight with low, cover again is to have to work tomorrow morning. temperatures in the mid-70s inland if your heading into the great valley 94 degrees and the northern end of the sacramento valley if you're really headed

out tomorrow morning it looks pretty good symphysis come mostly sunshine as things stand out in the bay area and 70 for chicago and new york city the forecast for the bay area low eighties right around the bay area and aiding and brent went up in the north than the numbers in the mid to upper 80s on the shoreline on the cool side next weekend weaken heineken things will be warming up in the bay area and is the seven day forecast. that's the weather now back to you. a much of the november ballot would very much amend california's three strikes law. called proposition 36 limited in the 25 to your life sentence for the third felony arrests sunday serious violence. train us now is michael that direct three strikes project at stanford and action helped write

the proposition. it was initiated in 1994 since then crams gone down in the people say it's working. under current law right now you can get a life sentence for petty theft are simple drug possession and the study shows both in san francisco in los angeles that life sentences for non-violent crimes did nothing to improve public safety but overcrowded prisons. there are never released people from our prisons because they're so overcrowded and we have a choice to release people who are more serious which is what we're doing today are the people that have been sentenced to life for extraordinarily minor crimes they do have to be felonies under california law almost anything north of jaywalking to count as a felony. critter prosecutors have

discretion in how they charge of three striking after reports about how they choose to do a of a felony is a third strike and not how many prisoners are we talking about are in the first inning pizzas and second of all prosecutors have discretion why did they change the law. we think it restores the original intent of the three strikes law to keep alive sentences for serious and violent felonies and for the folks of been sentenced to life than a non serious nonviolent crimes like petty theft and drug possession that are a few thousand people there but none of them will be released or any relief under proposition 36 allows a judge finds there no longer a risk to public safety. the laws narrowly tailored to find people that served the most amount of time for this crime and don't pose any threat to public safety. many want to keep the law the way it is saying that it assumes an aqua and commit any more crimes and says trust me

they are allowed to prosecute them again ticking of justice and the resources as before except that the hot new victims and their path. so what do you say to that? proposition 36 has to import and public safety measures for small nobody can get out of prison unless a judge finds there no longer there an unreasonable risk to public safety. and it imposes long sentences of repeat offenders and even non- violent offenders to others 6 to 10 years for more than people give for raping california. california voters will decide whether they go for the argument cannot and will have some it on the other side and an expert in the shadow of my question is if prosecutors have the discretion about whether to charge these and those of the people connect to make the

decisions why should we change that and mandate it one way or another in other words why do what to take it out of the hands of prosecutors? i want to have consistent application of the law to of the state and enough to get picked for possession of a simple mountain turks or petty theft you probably get to a misdemeanor sentence or a short prison sentence but to grow across the county across the state riverside county you could get a life sentence for the same exact crime. you can still get a misdemeanor to 10 years and when to say that it supported by the district attorney's incentive to scope and santa clara county health and implementing the policy for over a dozen years and crime is down in this counties more in the counties of the people that oppose it so it's been tested and it works and it's reasonable and modest and only affecting the people that committed nonviolent

crimes and don't pose any more risk to the community. critter the hope is that would be a deterrent for people do you feel like it's not? clearly to what people to what to police themselves. " of course i don't want to be a crime victim and a double people to go out and commit crimes and focuses on serious and violent crimes. every study found life sentences for non serious nonviolent crimes is nothing to improve public safety. it's been tested worked for the past 12 years here in santa to scope and los angeles we don't impose life sentences for crimes and crime is down more in these counties. and actually works whenever a policy that's consistent throughout the state that to people start to realize that there's a real deterrence. and this on a sensible application throughout the state when you commit a misdemeanor and one county and a life sentence in another that's when you have problems.

in the next half hour we are going to be here with uno on proposition 36 campaign. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

wisconsin let's get it done. the president's visit to the state eight times since taking office the race basically even after he joined the republican ticket in august the our latest poll shows the president pulling ahead. of the marquette law school survey found a similar climbing trend for mitt romney. the state is moved away from him since mid august he needs to stop that movement and bring it back. kitimat army has to contend with the potentially reenergize pro obama labor movement here. union and it exploded when gov. walker signed a bill into law striking public-sector workers of collective bargaining rights. that anger is being used as a motivational tool again in the aftermath of the judge's ruling this month that the law is unconstitutional. the teachers union executive from madison. when the judge said it's

not fair it will mobilize all whole lot of people i'm saying people in the middle level mobilize it will swing their vote. greta the republican state representative said the public is sick of the issue and has cited five times with walker at the polls and that he says helps mitt romney. twitter unions and the special interest allies to become boisterously have been every other election time but the people at home watching television working every day will turn on election day and i think ultimately mitt romney will be successful. mitt romney needs to visit again and again critical lot list they keep trying in wisconsin to be wise to spend time here. presents a " popularity and that's the way it is around the country. ps expect to determine whether wisconsin will be the focus of the puzzle if it's in the place or part of a problem he could not overcome.

this 21 year old eric simons found living at the a zero how to campus back in may and the object in your was

trying to save money walking his startup off the ground and security eventually showed him the door but that got him notice by investors. this week's than the other on- line community where teachers can share lesson plans and more. let's take a look at the weather. some cloud cover coming down with fog of the bridge but otherwise a pretty good sunday. the september and october typically some of the best months of the year in the weather for the bay area and it's certainly shaping up that with this morning. numbers mostly in the '50s right now. you also notice of the bottom left-hand corner of this picture that in looking at live there some cloud cover and that's a sign of things to come. the low pressure spanning over

southwestern alaska and the low pressure will send some cloud cover into the bay area and coupled with low pressure over the washington oregon border with hazy skies behind the high cloud cover that oppressed south leading to a warmer weeks ahead. if you're headed out this morning it's nice with part of sunshine on the coast of cloud cover in the bay area and in the end this is what things should look like to say starting the clock now with the cloud cover coming through during the day clears out and then coming back on the shoreline and by off tomorrow morning low, cover and then close to the shore but a nice week ahead and with an offshore flow lead to warmer temperatures this week. feared the out around the bay area tonight also looks good with the low cloud cover along the shoreline and the bay area and linda will be fair and mild

inland will be nice and warm and 9:00 tonight. eureka 63 degrees and 67 into the aquarium at monterey and freshness of 94 degrees. tomorrow o'clock cover it sent to scott airport and a high of 70 and new york and chicago tomorrow to and sunshine. denver cloud cover los angeles looks pretty good. 84 morgan hill to day 78 its san jose and 77 at milpitas. shoreline and numbers in the '60s. plenty warm inland although we have the cloud cover and 83 danville and 83 a nap of 79 at vallejo. looking at numbers mostly in the mid '80s this week and mid-70s

around the bay area with lots of sunshine this week ahead. next weekend things begin to warm up. a nice sunny and warm week ahead. isn't a reformer dangerous precedent the other side of the ballot measure calling for major changes to california's three strikes law. president at the cost to its foundation joining us good morning. the argument is the third strike is in serious if it's a drug infraction not violent then why in posted its change the law and a lot of people say it sounds logical. first of all and three strikes is passed in 1994 people knew exactly what they were getting. the snow and wind duty but the fact of the contract could be almost any kind of a felony or infraction and it is reduced

crime in california significantly. the only increase the prison population by 10,000 since 1994 and in the years prior to 1994 and returning that almost annually with far fewer murders and far fewer prisons and we did in the 15 years prior. about five imprisons in 50 years prior and 15 years since with the one new prison in showing to be very effective and the three strikes population a small with a late 8,503rd strikers in the system. you are originally against the law when it first came out in the early '90s. " i was concerned with spread to widen the umbrella that could quickly bring absolutely anybody in that stall a basketball out of an unoccupied dwelling. but the reality is now the prosecutors have the discretion and now that of the various

barriers are up to ensure the the prosecution to good and it's been a very good and effective law. but should some days than the life in prison for drug crimes but that's not what they're doing. the prior proposition 36 has mechanisms and it to disallow the third strike prosecution for drug crimes based on certain criteria the individual has not committed a crime for many years worked strikes are not together for not in one incident than they can be diverted into a drug situation about the totality of the criminal history that if somebody is committed these crimes and prosecuted for them successfully and then they to commit an infraction of some kind they've demonstrated that they're not willing to live within the laws that they're not willing to live with the general population and at some point they're going to commit the worst crime.

the other side is that blacks in a former statewide and sent to discuss you might not get the trick for something bad in a different county you could and they want to make level across. " i'll think the definition changes in think the interpretation by the prosecutors exchange have changed. what we're talking rise participatory democracy. if a prosecutor in tampa to scuffles and something doesn't need to return just a third charge but the answers to his constituents in an election it did not like the way you measure the rate strikes and other aspects of the law they will not reelect him and think circumstances are different in a tight knit urban committee review the massive police presence as opposed to something like current county which is

much smaller but much less of a police presence and maybe you need a different kind of a criminal-justice dynamic. i think the fact that to have participatory democracy the fact that it's not one-size-fits-all is beautiful and this is with the people want. of the prosecutors that is decided not to go with the three strikes law the district attorney in sampras's coach recently wrote the complex of life sentence of dr. prison system and removed people from society for relatively minor transgressions. i don't think that that's true would all this is about the totality of the criminal history these are serious and violent individuals and we see what happens already by putting these people back in the street with the governor brown's realignment supposedly non violent individuals and there's been murders committed all of the stick with this population.

what happens in this sector released the three strikers the people of been for years and remember many of these people their due to be released within the next couple of years anyway. thank you that's all the time that we have will be right back.

new device for the republican presidential ticket from a former governor of alaska sarah palin rain in the race for the white house understatement to the conservative website the weekly standard to " america desperately need to have a come to jesus moment and as the country is counting on president took canada at mitt romney and paul ryan to get it right. and part of that is the idea to go down and silent. and so is the promise of a better tomorrow and the final

stretch of the campaign the question is whether mitt romney or presumptive, for that matter appear to be able to close that deal with the american public. that's always sat down with the former mayor in the seventh school chronicle political reporter and asked him how important is it for a politician to sell sunshine. each in not when to sell gloom and doom you want people to believe that you represent the way forward and that's when you're pushing sunshine. mitt romney initially to push the doom and watched the strategy early on to find the had the switch out of it? i think his problem this he had a sunshine fill out the life and and the keenness of a spot the sunshine so i think it doesn't come to him naturally enough with the little awkward now.

but of course it's terrible * but it is kind of hard to pull the switch like that. the say it's terrible times because your point excess and you will bring light to that you represent good morning in america are whenever reagan said. prettify compared to make carter and ronald raisins or race to this when ronald reagan didn't have to say things are bad people just felt bad and he said i had the alternative and i will bring it back and that doesn't seem to be the case with mitt romney to sue why has not happened he has the stuff is the alternatives would note of them yet. the guy's been running for president for five years we should know where he's at this point. lincoln had a tremendous fan to each jimmy carter was kind of like mitt romney he could not convey any thing with

reference to what he put to and which he has done he couldn't defend your issues totaling complete a handicapped and all reagan had to say was there he goes again. breaking news this morning bart service there is none right now in the east bay from a fair to union city the major impact of people trying to get around from the east bay with an update coming up. also a team that may take on the new champions of the national league west up next. ,, greatcoat the major problems to
